Well, I don’t know how to answer you completely. I will try with my very limited understanding of an incomprehensible God, but I warn you that it will not be scholarly ‘cause scholarly is not what I is. ;-)
God is Almighty. The Son is the exact representation of God in body/person and did whatever the Father (God) showed Him. All power (of God) has been given to the Son who led a perfectly sinless life. The Holy Spirit is the spirit issuing forth from God. His active agent in this world granted to those who believe in the Son. The Son’s death on the cross being the means of reconciliation between man and God, as we have no way to pay for our own sins to God who is completely holy. It took the perfect (sinless) blood of Jesus, which was foreshadowed in the Old Testament. God cannot reside with sin; the blood of Jesus covers our sin and puts us in a right relationship with the Father for now and eternity.
That perhaps is too simple an explanation and I’m sure I badly mangled it, but there you go. I did the best with my limited understanding (and having a 5-year old near). I can’t fully comprehend God, as I am His creation and not His equal.
This I do know, however, that when I cried out to Him in my darkest hour He came and saved me and changed me completely.
His word tells me all I can comprehend of Him, and I’m barely able to grasp some of it. So, anything beyond what’s in the word would only be lost on those who have no way to understand another realm (such as myself).
I hope this helps.
Best regards,

Thank you for your explanation. This is a concept I always struggle to understand.
While we waited for that sinless blood to appear; we used the sinless blood of animals.
Hebrews 10:4
For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
